Anyone seen one that might work with the CT125?

Is that an Acme product?

Kidding aside I would go this route for cutting the wind on the legs in winter.

I have some hard leg shields on my Ural, they are nice in the winter.

I had an old fashioned giggle at the cartoon, thanks!

I have looked at several legshields for the CT and they are either barndoors or very expensive. My big BMW had a gaucho and it kept both wind and rain off my body, legs and feet - and I was able to ride comfortably, in conjunction with bar muffs, in sub zero temps. But the big big plus was that rainwater did not pool in my crotch!

I suspect there is such an accessory available in Japan but t’internet has not coughed one up yet

Interesting. I am sure if I used that gizzmo it would end up over my helmet in a tight corner with Wiley Coyote results

The Super Cub has leg shields where adding those to the Trail might be a good start if you want enclosed weather protection, rather than just rain pants. There are quite a few options available for the CT, you can also just trim some plastic and attach it to the engine crash bars.

I owned a Ruckus for a minute or two (persistent electrical issues), and I built a fairing for it using black corrugated plastic and zip ties. Also made hand shields from the same material.

I was careful to make cardboard templates first, and it honestly came out quite nice, better yet it all worked perfectly. No issues with buffeting or vibration, and it made an immense difference in protecting my old body from the wind.

if you run crash bars on your 125, I’m fairly certain you could gin up something similar that would protect your legs, but you pretty clearly run the risk of turning the bike into a sail, with detrimental effects.

Thanks for the response and ideas. The gaucho on my BMW was quite heavy and anchored to the bike at a couple of points. The top attached to my. chest with a piece of velcro while there were stiffeners in front of your feet. It was also stable at high speed

In winter every delivery rider in Paris has one as they are quick and easy to use

I will keep looking and will drop a line to Tucano the makers

Please keep the ideas and thoughts coming
